Zeiss ZM 85mm f/4 Tele-Tessar

The 310 gram metal and glass Zeiss ZM 85mm f/4 Tele-Tessar is a petite M-mount lens suitable for the Leica M Typ 240 or other M cameras. First class build quality, a nice little gem.

With an adapter, it makes a very compact optic for mirrorless cameras also (e.g. Sony A7/A7R), with a friendly ray angle for likely high performance on mirrorless.

A first evaluation is on the Leica M Typ 240. In Guide to Leica:

This f/4 - f/16 aperture series includes HD and UltraHD images as well as the usual crops.
